Sequence Stratigraphy

application for exploration and production of natural resources

Support

Logomarca SGB - Sociedade Brasileira de Geologia
This is a methodological and hands-on course based on seismic, well logs, cores and outcrops, focusing on chronostratigraphic correlation, facies prediction, and identification of stratigraphic traps. This approach used by the oil industry is also employed to the exploration of other natural resources (water, coal, phosphate and placer deposits, for example).
Course type: LIVE STREAMING (05 days, 40 hours)

Why is sequence stratigraphy so crucial for the exploration of natural resources?

Sequence stratigraphy is a method that helps to understand the evolution of sedimentation through time and space in sedimentary basins. Currently, regional studies that support the exploration of natural resources are based on the understanding of the sedimentary processes that form the deposits and the sedimentation breaks that limit them.

The exploration and production of natural resources formed or related to sedimentary processes depend on the construction of chronostratigraphic frameworks that allow paleogeographic reconstructions that in turn increase our understanding of the temporal and spatial distribution of deposits of economic interest such as source rocks, seals and reservoirs of oil and other natural resource deposits.

Content

It is a hands-on course based on seismic, wells, cores and outcrops data. The course focuses on stratigraphic correlation, facies prediction, and identification of stratigraphic traps and heterogeneities.

Participants will practice the sequence stratigraphy methodology through exercises to identify stratigraphic surfaces and propose chronostratigraphic correlations.

Who should attend

Geologists, geophysicists, and engineers who are working on the exploration of petroleum or other natural resources.
